Thank you 2025! 🎣⚓ I want to thank every client who went fishing with West Wind Charters in 2025. I truly appreciate each of you who spent time offshore with me. The memories the laughs and the great days on the water mean a lot. Looking ahead to 2026 I’m excited for another great fishing season and can’t wait to get back out there for more tig...

The cold has finally set in! The giant crappie have been biting deep in 20 to 40ft of water on live minnows and plastic Crappie Magnets! Most of these deep crappie are white crappie but if you move shallower you’ll catch dozens of black crappie. The bass have started biting swimbaits and Alabama rigs!

Friday night was a good night for those in the shallows. Received many pictures of 20″ plus Walleye including a 26″ and 28″ C/R.  Perch activity was good with a lot of smalls but Jumbos were mixed in.  Those deeper caught more under-slot Walleye and overall didn’t fare as well. The night bite was better […] The post December 27th 2025 first appear...
